I went malling alone today.
We're suppose to continue doing the bulletin board for the English month this afternoon, but since we've already finished doing it, I went to SM Tunasan.
It's my first time to go malling alone, actually. Not that I couldn't go alone, I just don't feel like going to mall without a companion.
But I decided to go to SM today because I need to buy few items in NBS. I was able to but the spare notebook I need, plus some few pens. Then I went to Booksale and hunted for some books I could read. I bought a really cheap one. Haha.
I even saw a former classmate in National Bookstore. He was my classmate form grade 1 to grade 3. I could still remember his name: Roiland P. Marinay. And then, I saw a former classmate again, back in my fourth-grade. Charmaine Gancuanco.
But I didn't waved at them or something. I don't like this kind of "reunion". It feels... awkward.
I was there for less than two hours. SM Tunasan doesn't have much to see. But I'm kinda happy because I was able to buy the things I needed. =D

Wanted
I've been craving for a lot of things latel. Well, here's the things I want to have right now. They're listed according to rank/ necessity, anyway.
1. New pair of wedges/stilettos/high-heeled sandals or shoes that looks somewhat like lolita shoes.
I really want to have a pair of lolita shoes. I don't know if the timing is good or bad, but my favorite high-heeled sandals should retire now.
My favorite pair of sandals. They both has cracks on the sides (encircled).
I bought those for our prom, and because I really have this ultimate liking for high-heeled sandals, that pair was my favorite (actually, almost all of my sandals/shoes are high-heeled). I've been using that always, even if I am just going to attend a practice or something. I'm pretty accustomed in using high-heels, 'ya know, so I feel comfortable using it.
Maybe because of my excessive use on that pair made it retire early. I have not noticed the cracks until my choirmates told me about it. Maybe that is why I'm a little wobbly lately whenever I'm using them.
Now, I can't use them anymore because the cracks on them make it uncomfortable for me to use them. So now I am back to my old, shabby pairs.
I'm looking for a new pair to replace the broken one. I did find nice-looking ones, but there no size that fits my feet perfectly.
Criteria for the would-be sandals/shoes:
* high-heeled (of course!)
* close-toe shoes are more preferable
* wedges are more preferable than stilettos
* something that looks like lolita shoes x)
* cute design. probably ones with childish ribbons : )
* fits in mysmall feet
Too bad I couldn't find something that I really like yet.
2. KHR DVD with episode 66 and up
I've been pretty crazy over KHR nowadays. I've finished the episode 1-65, watching it in the DVD a friend let me borrow. But she doesn't have the episode 61 above. T_T
I wanted to buy my own DVD and had already looked for one in the market nearby. But the one they only have is the volume 4 of the anime, which contains the spiode 125 and up. I saw a KHR volume 3 but the summary's English is awfully bad (there is even one character named "baun" who's probably Reborn ;__;), so it's more likely that the subtitle is bad.
3. "Notes notebook"
I need a new a spare notebook now. The "notes notebook"--which is where I write my leactures, notes, and scribbles--are pretty used up; there are only few leaves left. Second Grading has now started, and I need new "notes notebook" for that.
I want the one with the spiral on the top for easier use. MAybe I could find that in National Bookstore, but I just can't find time to visit the nearest NBS, which is in SM Tunasan.
4. Scapular
Just to remind me not to do something bad. : )
5. Lolita accessories (hair clips, trinkets, socks, or the like)
Because I am just going gaga over it.
6. Lolita dress, skirts, blouse; or something that looks like one
I want to buy and wear skirts now. Girly-girly? Nah. I just think that maybe a change in wardrobe would be awesome.
7. KHR accesories, stuff toys, or plushes
I saw these plushes in dA which made me squeal "Kawaii!" and made my eyes sparkle.
Top: Lambo, Reborn | Bottom: I-pin, Chrome
The problem is, I don't have enough money. Well, maybe I could afford few items, but not all. I need to save money for the others. T__T
Maybe I'll visit Festi this week to hunt for these stuff. Haha. =D

NCAE: Survived!
Last Wednesday, August 26, we, the fourth year students, had taken the National Career Assessment Examination. And finally, we survived it and that dreadful exam ended!
Well, it wasn't the actual exam that was dreadful. It was pretty easy, actually (yabang!). But we peed blood and blades during the preparation for it.
Weeks before the test, our normal classes were shifted to review classes for the NCAE. I think we started the review as soon as the First Monthly exam was over. Our schedule was changed, as well as some of our teachers.
Because we're kinda late in lessons and haven't really taken everything we need to take up, there are so many lessons we tackled during the review, especially in Math. It was as if the teachers are trying to put in every information that they can in our mind with that little time, so effect was not very successful.
Well, that was in my case. I did absorb information in other subjects, but Math is a different case. There are a lot of theorems and formulae to be memorized, and it was taught in such a fast pace. It somewhat made me dizzy.
Plus, some teachers--who were probably lazy to teach lessons--just gave us questionnaires to be answer and not teaching at all.
The lessons we had taken were the ones that appeared in First Quarterly exams. And every section in fourth year level took the same exams. And because we had different teachers during the review, different teaching styles and abilities, of course some sections and students weren't too lucky at all.
And probably our section was one of those "unlucky ones". The review classes just got me dizzy and confused and they were full of alien-ish things.Especially and most especially Mathematics.
I don't wanna think about the First Quarterly exam. Because of the fact that I didn't review for it and the fact that some of the lessons were new to me, I really peed blood and blades.
So, I was fortunately not late at the day of NCAE. I was late during the first and second dry-run, 'ya know, and I was told to make a five-page narrative report to state the reason why I was late during the second dry-run. Mou.
The dry-runs means nothing to me. Well, maybe not really "nothing", but it was quite insignificant to me. Bahala na. I didn't care about it that much. I didn't review for it too.
But at the day of our NCAE, before the test started, at the time we lined up in the quadrangle, it was then that I feel excited about it. And a little anxious too. I got excited and a bit anxious for it's outcome, in what score I will get. Because it would be another step in my way to college.
The actual NCAE wasn't that bad, really. Even Math wasn't too hard. Well, if I was given two hours for the Math, I will probably get a fair score. Maybe 40 or so over 60 items. (My right answers in the dry-runs were barely above the half of the number of items, btw. 8D)
They say Science was hard. Even harder than Math, according to my classmates. Well, it wasn't really awful for me. The questions were mostly "situation" types, mostly about scientific method and general science. If I were to choose between an examination like that and an exam which contains mostly Chemistry, I would choose the first. I don't know much about Chem, 'ya know, all thanks our Chem teacher back in third year.
It was the English that I was anxious about. I need to score high on that because my course would be an English-related course, and I'm quite bothered with it. Not that is it that hard, but it wasn't too eay either. Some questions kinda confused me, too.
They say some school asks for the results of the NCAE, some does not. But whatever kind of school I get into, whether they ask for the NCAE result as a requirement or not, I wished that mine will be okay. Because I want to take a course that I really like, a course that fits me right.
Good luck to us fourth years! We can do it! Ganbatte!~

Okay Na Sana E..
My day started nicely, but ended badly.
Saturday is actually my favorite day and I am always on this day of the week because I really like singing in the choir, plus I will be able to be with my close friends, who happened to be choir members too.
So I really looked forward for this day, as usual. There were already a number of my choir mates when I got in school. They noticed the big, long earrings that I was wearing. Ka-landian co talaga o!
Hindi na rin kami nag-practice, tutal e kokonti lang naman kami e. Instead, we talked about various stuff, ranted on that damnedbloody First Quarterly exams. Grabe, pati Basil din pala nahirapan. Gaah! Si Ablay nga, nade-"depress" dun sa exam.
Tinanong co pala kung ano yung nangyari sa TOBS (Top Outstanding Boy Scout) na sinalihan ni Eday. I had mentally noted myself to ask him about that because I dreamt this week that I asked him about it, at sabi niya dun sa panaginip co, nakapasok siya sa Nationals at pang-4th siya.
Pasok nga daw siya sa National. Haha! Super pray aco para sa kanya dun. Ang guess what? Pang-fourth nga siya! WAW! Nagkatotoo yung dream co? Sabi niya nga daw, managinip ulit aco na nanalo siya sa Nationals. XD
I haven't still gotten over my love for piggy-back rides. Nagkukulitan kami ni Eday when he crouched and I groped him at the neck. I ended riding at his back. I was squealing like a little child as he run around, jumping up and down. Tumalon pa nga siya sa stage e, at tili-tawa aco. XD
I am so so child-like, I know. Fourth year na aco, pero gustong-gusto co pa ring napasan. Yeah. Yeah. I am so childish. =D
Nakatambay sila Jette, Alexa, at Luis sa may tabi ng flagpole. Luis called me at pinagtripan din ang aking hikaw. Haha. Tumambay din muna aco sa kanila. We were laughing so hard about the mural at the wall on the tunnel. Kamuka daw kasi ni Dolphy. Hahaha!
We went to the church before 5pm. Kuya Darwin, a LDSP alumnus and former Glee Club member, was the one who played piano for us. Maingay na naman nga e, kaya saway aco ng saway. Kuya Darwin even commented nung sinasaway co sila, "Parang aco lang dati ah."
Yeah, I remember that time when I was still on First and Second year when Kuya Darwin keeps on hushing us whenever we make noise. How fast the time flies! Ngayon, aco na ang sumasaway.
Okay pa aco nung una. I was still tolerating it at first kahit sitsit na aco nang sitsit. Pero nung bago mag-communion, na-bad trip na talaga aco. I shut my mouth and let them. Hindi na rin aco masyadong kumanta.
Di na nga aco sumabay sa Recessional kaya nagkagulo-gulo na. Tapos nung mukang nalito sila dun sa last part at nagkamali, nagtawanan pa. Nakakabad-trip e. So after taking off the cord from the mic, I told them, almost harshly, to sit down. Umalis na nga si Kuya Darwin nang hindi man lang aco nakapagpasalamat.
Nagsimula na ang panenermon co. Nakakainis kasi. Sinasaway nang paulit-ulit, ayaw pang magsitahimik. Nakakabastos na e, walang mga respeto. Palibhasa, nakikipag-biruan aco sa kanila. I am not laying my authority that much because I don't want to be an "authority figure". Umaabuso na e. Hindi naman porke mga kaibigan co sila, pababayaan co na lang.
I was somewhat close to tears. Ganito talaga aco kapag galit, naiiyak. But I didn't cry. There was just a lump of my throat, but I didn't cry. I'm laying my "authority", and authorities don't cry.
O, nung napagalitan saka nagsipag-tahimik. Kala mo mga maamong tupa e. Kailangan pa papagalitan muna.
Wala na. Bad trip na talaga aco. Nakakainis kasi e. Matapos ipaalala ang tungkol sa pesteng collared shirt na ilang linggo co nang ipinaalala sa kanila pero 13 pa lang ang nagpapasa, binirahan co sila ng walk-out. I just heard someone leading the prayer as I walk down the stairs. Si Gerard yata yun.
I walked with a straight face. I felt my jaws clenching, my brows furrowing. I headed to PEAC, and forgot to ask for the sign in my prayer book. Next week co na lang papapirmahan. Bad trip aco, and all I wanted at that time was to talk to Him.
Ayoko pa naman sa lahat, yung naba-bad trip. Ayoko kaya ng seryoso aco. Hindi aco sanay at alam cong hindi sanay ang mga tao. Ayoko ng galit aco. But I had to lay my authority. I had to be angry. I was angry, and the annoyance I felt wasn't something I could and should keep.
Naiinis talaga aco. Naiinis aco sa mga ka-choir co at sa sarili co. Yes, I am annoyed mostly to myself.
Bakit nung time naman ni Ate Jen, ni Ate Beth, ni Ate Pam, hindi naman ganito? I mean, sumusunod agad sa kanila ang choir. Ganun ba talaga? Hindi ba talaga aco karespe-respeto? Don't I deserve respect?
Maybe it was because they "grew up" with me. Dahil matagal na nila acong kilala that's why they don't fear me anymore. Maybe it was all because of childishness. Maybe it was because they even look more matured than me. Maybe because I am small, that's why they think so little of me.
Nakakainis. I was looking forward for this day. I was looking forward for a peaceful, heart-touching mass, looking forward for great singing, looking forward for time with my friends. Pero nasira lang lahat.
**
I was still annoyed when I got home, but it gradually faded.
Arbu PMed me in YM, and apologized. I accepted his apology, and just told him na hindi aco pupunta sa kanila para kunin yung shirts na ilang beses co nang pinapalala sa kanila; sila ang maghanap sa'kin.
Napatunayan co na I couldn't still hold anger for too long. Aco talaga yung taong magagalit, pero mawawala na rin mayamaya. Aco yung taong madaling amuhin.
I don't know how will I act when I saw them again, or how will I treat them next Saturday. Basta, hindi na aco papayag na maulit na naman na ganito. I still don't like to lay authority, but if I must, I will.

Exams and Other Random Things
So yeah, I'm not hoping for high scores. I wouldn't be hoping for a 90 average this grading period. I was aiming for a 90 or something average this school year, but I have to say goodbye on that this quarter. I think I won't be the top 1 in our section this grading period. Not that I really hoped, but of course, I also wished that I will be.
The thing I am holding on is my recitations, and I just hope my teachers remember that when they start computing our grades. x)
Geez, I sounded.. greedy for grades. Gahaman na ba aco sa grades ngayon? Medyo siguro. Pero hindi naman aco bitter. Haha. Okay lang naman sa'kin kung merong mas mataas sa'kin basta karapat-dapat lang ang grades na ibibigay sa'kin, kuntento na aco dun. I'm just going to do better next quarter, I promise that. I'm promising that to you, blog, and I'm going to put that promise in here so I'll always remember it when I read this post. =D

After exams, Steni and I went to Jette's house. It was actually pre-planned. Ang paalam co nga kay Mama, may practice kami sa Music e. Haha. Ang bad co!
Ang arte pa nga nun ni Jette e, one week din acong inasar hindi na daw tuloy. Gusto lang sigurong magpa-kulit nun. Haha!
But Jette already bought the ingredients for the carbonara that we're going to cook days before kaya alam cong echos niya lang iyon. At sa hinaba-haba ng plano, kaming tatlo lang rin pala ang matutuloy. XD At si Alexa din, nasasama din pala.
Kaya kami-kami ang magkakasama nung uwian. Kaso, may meeting pa si Steni because she's a S4 in CAT, and I don't know if Jette has a meeting too. Sabi co kay Jette, mauna na kami para mailuto na yung carbonara, but we end up waiting for the two. Steni's meeting ended after a few minutes--mas matagal pa nga yung pag-ikot-ikot namin kaysa sa meeting nila--and Alexa told us to go ahead at susunod na lang siya.
After buying some few stuff, we headed to Jette's house. We cooked
Hindi nga masaydong nakakatakot e. Kami ni Jette natatawa-tawa lang sa palabas, si Steni naman super tili. Mukang ewan lang, tinatakot yung sarili. 8D
Nagkayayaan kaming pumunta sa Treats matapos manuod. Dahil nagpalit aco ng damit (maong pants + t-shirt), I couldn't wear my school shoes with those dahil ang jologs co naman. Steni borrowed the slippers of Jette's father, while I borrowed Jette's. At dahil malaki si Jette, I looked like a walking duck because of the big slippers.
Super init, grabe! Kaya naman nag-McFloat kami. And we discovered Jette's habit and we imitated him. Grabe, nakakahiya kami!
We went back to Jette's house and Steni played a computer game. We went home at 5:15. Haha. Ang awesome din ng araw co because I spent time with my new friends. : )

Last Monday, Ms. Bulilan (our Filipino teacher) saw me while we were waiting for Apple. Mag-uuwian na nun, e sabay-sabay nga kaming lumalabas ng school.
When Ms. Bulilan walked pass me, she patted my head (actually my bangs), and said to me, "Ang ganda pala ng boses mo, Ivy."
I smiled sheepishly at her. After thinking why she said that, I assumed she heard me sing in the mass last Saturday.
Wala lang, natuwa lang aco sa sinabi ni Miss. Kahit pa siguro nasabi niya lang 'yon out of nothing, the compliment made me smile.
I was actually thinking of "pursuing" my singing. I would like to join a singing contest or present in school or something. A lot of people tell me to sing on stage, but I always said that solo singing is not for me.
I am the kind of person who stands out in singing (or even in other things) when in groups. Pero 'pag aco na lang, wala na. Katulad na lang nung nangyari nung Foundation Day. Disaster talaga yung performance co dahil paos aco nun. I was really depressed after that that I almost swear I wouldn't sing again.
But singing is my life. This is God's gift for me. I know I am not as good as Regine Velasquez or what, but I am somewhat ggod in my own way. Though I use this talent in serving Him, I want this talent to grow. And I wouldn't let those failures serve as a hindrance. Though I am still scared, I want to try.

Inspired : )
Yohoow! This day is so... inspiring. Yay! I don't know, but I really feel... in l--*shot* inspired. Yeah, inspired.
So, I was wearing a big smile upon reaching our classroom. I don't know what's the reason why I am smiling today so much, I just feel like smiling. Maybe it was because last week was an awesome week and the after-effect still lingers in me?
Koleen and Jette were wondering why there's a big smile plastered on my lips. "Inspired," was the response I could think of. Waha. XD (And they still keep on guessing who my special someone is. 8D )
I also asked Quintero and the others to curl my hair again today (landi talaga! XD).
Halos hindi rin naman namin nakita ang aming adviser ngayon, kahit exam na bukas. =_=
May activity din kami sa Music na dapat e last week pa nagawa. We we're grouped into forur and each group should sing a church song. Dahil mukang hindi naman matatandaan ni Sir kung anong grupo ba kami, kung sino-sino na lang ang nag-grupo-grupo. The group who will perform the best will get an exemption for the 1st Quarterly Exam.
Actually, medyo nakaka-pressure din. As the Glee Club President, our group should do good on this. Syempre, nakakahiya naman kasi kay Sir kung mukang ewan kami. ;___;
I changed our song. I think the former one was kinda lame. We practiced for it during recess and Music time, hanggang sa huli, sabi ni Sir e next week na lang daw kami mag-perform. x]
♥ *shot*
I paid for my tuition first, and went to St. Basil's first before going home to ask for the t-shirt from the Glee Club members. I saw Adrian whirling around, and assumed he's taking care of his "documents". It's actually for the Boy Scout. He'll be candidating to be one of the 10 Most Outstanding Boy Scout. Regional lang muna yung lalabanan niya, tapos kukuha ng lima dun para isali naman sa National. (Yay! I'll be praying for you, Edz! ^^) Grabe, ang busy ng taong yun e.
Pagkatapos cong daaanan ang St. Peter, umuwi na rin aco at natulog.
I went back early to school. Sabi kasi ni Arsie, dumaan daw aco sa kanila before my afternoon classes for her shirt. Nakita co si Jorvina at nagpasama sa kanya papuntang Basil. Super sara naman ng room nila at nung nakita aco ni Adrian, sinabi niyang wala sila Arsie at nanunuod ng Debate. @_@
Matapos makipag-chikahan ng kaunti kay Eday, nagpaalam na rin aco. Pero bago yun, yumakap muna aco sa kanya ng mahigpit. Haay, nakaka-miss si Eday ngayon. Palibhasa ang hectic ng schedule ng taong yun, super busy kaya minsan na lang kami magkita. : )
We checked our quiz on Science today. I was actually wondering what kind of alien-ish things Mrs. Suinan was saying so I asked the others if it was the questionnaire that we answered last Friday. It turned out na iba palang questionnaire ang dini-discuss ni Miss! Kaya pala puro mali kami e! Inulit tuloy namin ulit.
Nakakatuwa nga si Mrs. Suinan e. Nakakabiruan namin siya kaya nakakatuwa. Dati talaga, akala co super serious yun na mala-terror na bawal biruin. Pero nakikipag-asaran pa siya sa'min.
Magaling din siyang magturo. Mabilis nga lang minsan, pero marami talaga acong natututunan sa kanya. Dati, kahit nung hindi pa aco nagha-high school, sabi co, ayoko ng Physics dahil puro computations. Ngayon, ayoko pa rin ng computations sa Physics but I don't really hate the entire subject. Nagiging interesante na nga sa'kin ang mga kung anu-anong law e ('wag mo lang talagang ibigay sa'kin ang puro conversions at computations).
Wala kaming teacher sa Filipino, kaya labu-labo na naman kami sa room. Susme! Super hagalpakan na naman sa mga tawa! XD
May "workshop" nga kanina si Jorvina e. Tinuturuan namin na mag-mukang "matino" at hindi parating mukang si Sisa at Pinkaw. Pero wa epek talaga, in born na topak ng babaeng 'yun. XD
Dumating si Sir Cejero pero pinasa lang namin sa kanya yung notebook namin at hindi na niya kami pinakialaman. Kaya patuloy pa rin ang ingay. Nagpalit pa nga kami ni Ruiz ng sapatos (pareho kaming maliit, pero hindi pa rin talaga ganap na kasya ang kanyang sapatos sa aking lotus feet XD).
At nung pabalik na si Jayson sa upuan niya, nagulat na lang kami ng biglang nadapa. Actually, hindi saktong term ang "nadapa". BULAGTA SIYA SA SAHIG E! Tawanan ang lahat, pati siya e. HAHAHAHAHA! SOCO!! XDDD
**
Nag-PEAC muna co bago umuwi. As I was walking home, I saw Adrian, Gerard, Remo, and Marlon on the other side of the road. Nakita rin nila aco at nagpahintay habang tumatawid sila. Si Remo, umuwi na, habang si Eday e nagyaya namang mag-7-eleven. Actually, anong oras na at kailangan co na ring umuwi, pero minsan co lang naman na makasama si Eday so I gave in.
Sa 7-eleven, napag-usapan namin ang tungkol sa "future". Ang mga activities, ang Liceo, ang college life. Actually, magpi-PNU din si Eday kapag hindi siya nakapasa ng UP, at pareho pa kami ng course sa PNU--Linguistics. Pero sabi co naman sa kanya, I have a great feeling that he has a good chance of passing in UP, lalo na't Baguio naman ang second choice niyang campus at papayagan naman siya dun, so madali nang ilakad sa Diliman if ever.
Syempre, masaya sana kung pareho kaming PNU para may kasama naman aco dun kung sakaling dun nga aco matuloy, but I'm still praying that he--as well as my other friends--will pass in UP, kahit na gusto co e sama-sama pa rin kami. Syempre, di naman pwede 'yun di ba? Ayokong maging selfish. Mas okay sana kung lahat kami ay UP, but I should be realistic. Ang liit ng tsansa co. And I couldn't afford to be selfish, especially when it come to my friends, kaya kahit alam cong magkakalayo-layo kami, I'm praying that they will pass in UP. Maganda naman ang chance nilang makapasa e.
Wala na si Mama pagdating co sa bahay, pumasok na sa trabaho. Nag-alibi na nga lang aco kung bakit aco late umuwi. 8D
May extension pa pala ang masasayang araw co. Haha. Sana parati na lang ganito.
Exam bukas. Todo computer pa rin aco. Hay, PC is just too tempting. Bahala na. Hahaha! XD Good luck na lang sa'min!~

A Happy Week-End for A Happy Week
Saturday. I was actually waiting for this day throughout the whole week. Ewan co ba, na-eexcite aco sa araw na ito.
Maybe it was because I could feel na magiging masaya ang araw na ito. Na-eexcite acong mag-choir ngayon. Section din kasi namin ang naka-toka sa anticipated mass ngayon. And... lots of other reason. :)
I went early to school today. Sabi co nga sa kanila, 12:00 pa lang e pumunta na sa school. We're going to sing for the Mass for the dead today, for Mang Jun's (the school janitor/maintenance) father. Most of my choirmates are feeling somewhat scared because of the fact that it's the mass for the dead, but honestly, I feel excited. Sa limang taon cong choir, ngayon lang aco makakakanta sa patay. I haven't sang during weddings too, though I really wanted to. Hoho. Tama bang ma-excite sa misa ng patay? >_>
Konti pa lang ang choir pagka-dating co sa school. Yay! Yung mga iyon talaga! Nung nakita naman aco ni Sir Bautista, tinanong niya yung kaya co daw mag-solo sa Tanging Yaman. Um-oo naman aco. Yay!
Pumunta na kami sa simbahan ng 1pm. Medyo konti nga lang kami e. Pumalpak nga lang dun sa may Opening Song kasi nagkalito-lito. Pero maayos naman yung iba. Haha!
At nag-solo nga aco sa Tanging Yaman, na kinanta sa dulo nang binabasbasan na yung... pumanaw. Okay naman yung pagkanta co. Sumabay na sila dun sa last verse. Kinanta din namin yung Pagsibol at nagsolo aco sa may Chorus. Sheda nga e, ang pangit nung falsetto co. Pero all in all, okay naman.
The mass ended at 2pm and I let the others eat their lunch dahil galing pa sila sa practice ng cheering, tutal e 4pm pa naman ang practice for the mass later at 5pm.
Nakita co yung mga classmates nung third year sa gate pagkabalik namin sa school. Birthday kasi ni Honey. Imbitado nga aco, e kaya lang may choir nga aco. Kaya kahit gaano co pa gustuhin na pumunta, hindi pwede. Kasi naman, 1 hour yata papunta kila Honeylou tapos 1 hour pa pabalik. Anu nang maabutan co sa mass?
Super pilit nga sila sa'kin. Sabi nila, isang beses lang naman acong hindi makaka-attend ng misa. Kaya naman na daw nila yun ng yung ibang choir na lang. But I've already pondered it. Ipagpapalit co ba si God sa isang birthday? What I do is not mere singing in the mass, I am serving God with my voice. Napaka-walang kwenta co naman sigurong Katoliko kung uunahin cong magpasaya kaysa magsimba at mag-serve sa Kanya. (Waw. Ang banal co naman! XD)
So even how much they persuaded me, even how much I wanted to, I stayed in the school. Super iniinggit nga nila aco e. 8D
Dahil 4pm pa naman ang practice

A Happy Week
I had an awesome week. Ang saya sa klase namin. Slowly, I am beginning to like my senior life. Slowly, I am beginning to like my section. Maybe it was because of the fact that I am beginning to find new friends in my class.
As usual, most of our teachers didn't attend our classes, so we had a pretty lot of vacant time in the morning. Medyo maingay na naman tuloy kami.
As usual again, Steni was in our side of the room. I mean, dun sa side namin nila Jette.
Si Catherine, dahil may sayad talaga yung babaeng 'yon at mahilig man-trip, sinugod ba naman aco tungkol sa FS ng section namin. Alam co namang nanti-trip na naman 'yun dahil me pagka-krung krung talaga yung magkambal na 'yon lalo na si Catherine, pero medyo nainis aco kaya "ginera" co. Tahimik siya e. Haha! 'Di naman talaga aco warfreak, nainis lang aco kasi nakaka-gago na e. Hindi naman aco galit, pero hindi co siya pinapansin pati na si Carmela. Aba! Trip co e! XD
Ang hyper na naman naming tatlo at may mga ketek na naman kami (buong week naman kaming ganito). Randomly, Steni thought about watching an Asian horror film because we're doing scary faces. Jette and I agreed and we babbled about it.
It wasn't too serious at first, until we came up with a "serious" planning. We're going to watch a horror movie at Jette's house. I suggested that we'll go on Thursday--that's the last day of exams. Ayaw pa nga ni Jette na sa bahay nila, pero alam naman naming echos lang 'yun kasi nakiki-plano na in siya and he said he will cook carbonara for us. Yay! Nakaka-excite! The three of us are getting all excited for Thursday, actually. I just don't know if it will be just the three of us o sasama sila Jayson. Batsa, dapat makasama kaming tatlo, yun ang imporatante! =D
Magkakakumpulan na naman kami sa likod; actually, sila yung napunta sa pwesto namin ni Jette. I noticed that we somewhat formed an informal "group" (me, Jette, Steni, Jayson, Jorvina, Luis, and Dionisio) at kami ang mga nagkukwentuhan tuwing walang teacher. It felt somewhat nice, having new friends. : )
Dahil nga nagku-kwentuhan kaming tatlo tungkol sa plano sa Saturday, tinanong kami nila Jayson. We told them we're planning about going to EK. Nagyayayaan kaming pumunta ng Enchanted Kingdom dati pa, pero hindi naman ganun ka-serious yung yayaan. Pero kanina, pinanindigan naming nagpa-plano kaming tatlong pumunta sa EK and the rest believed it, though they're still suspicious.
Naputol lang ang kwentuhan ng dumating si Ms. Bautista for our Math. Pero nung umalis na siya, balikan na naman sa usapan dahil hindi naman pumasok si Mrs. Lopena.
Ang lakas ng trip namin. Pinanindigan namin yung trip namin na pupunta kami sa EK sa Thursday, when the truth is we're just going to Jette's house. At naging topic na ng usapan namin ang EK. The three of us were exchanging knowing glances and grins. Sheda! Ang sama namin! XD
Ang lakas talaga ng sayad namin. Muka kaming abnormal kaming tatlo nila Steni at Jette. Muka kaming mga special child! Haha! Yung itsura talaga ni Steni, nakakatawa! Ngumingiti siya kasi na pinapahaba yung baba. Basta, I couldn't explain it. Haha! At dahil mapayat at butu-butp ang babaeng 'yun, kamuka niya si Babalu! Super hagalpakan kami! Grabe, ang lakas ng trip namin! XDDD
Nagkakagatan din kamiYes, I bite. RAWR! at super kilitian. Nagbubunguan din kami nila Jette at Asis. Uso kasi sa'min yung mambubungo ng walang dahilan. Asis is a fat boy in our class (there's no point of denying it 8D), and he's about more or less five times bigger than me kaya tumatalsik talaga aco kapag nagbubunguan kami. Pero super kulitan pa rin! Haha!
Nagyayaan na kaming pumunta sa Extension for our P.E. The third year we're having an assembly at the quadrangle and when Jeje and the others spotted me, they asked me to come down. Bautista told me we're singing for a mass for the dead tomorrow--Mang Jun's father (the school janitor), actually. Sabi ni Bau, mag-practice daw kami. So I went to Extension to tell it to the Basilians. But after thinking of it, I've decided not to practice at all. I mean, hindi naman yata si Sir ang magpa-practice sa'min, so yung mga alam na kanta namin ang mapa-practice lang. E nagmisa naman kami kahapon. Saka isa pa, may klase ang Basil at may Physical Fitness Test kami.
Pabalik-balik aco sa MAin at Extension para hanapin si Bau at sabihing hindi na magpa-practice. Grabe as in! Super pawis na tuloy aco. Buti nakita co siya nung ine-excuse niya yung mga secong year and I told him that we'll not practice anymore at sabihan na lang yung mga members na around 12:00 pumunta sa school.
Pumunta aco sa Basil para sabihin ang tungkol sa misa bukas. Bumalik na rin aco sa mga kaklase co after that.
Hindi pa dumating agad si Mrs. Cacao, kaya super harutan pa rin. Pinagtutulungan namin ni Jette na bunguin si Asis, kahit super tumatalksik kami. Si Steni naman naglulumandi dun kay Sir De Leon na crush niya. Haha!
Dumating na rin si Mrs. Cacao at nag-PFT nang muli. I got 110cm in Standing Long Jump, 77mm?/cm? in Sit and Reach, and 159 in Arms Span. Yung pader nga sa Arms sapan, di co abot yung mismong nakasulat na measurement kaya sabi ni Miss tatantyahin na lang daw sa abot co. Ahahaha!
Maaga kaming natapos sa PFT ngayon. May mga nagpa-practice ng sayaw sa P.E. na mga first year at dahil sa pang-uudyok ni Mrs. Cacao at Sir Lacuesta, napasayaw si Asis! WHOOO! Jollibee! XD
Nang mag-uwian na, sumabay na ulit aco kila Steni. Magkakasabay kaming umuwi for the whole week. Actually sila lang talaga yung magkasabay, nakiki-epal lang aco kasi pareho lang naman kami ng way. Nagbayad muna silang dalawa sa cashier for their tuition--yung pianapkitang two thousand ni Jette kanina na sinasabi niyang pang-EK e tuition naman pala talaga nila nung kapatid niya.
"Sabi na nga ba tuition yan e!" Jayson said so the EK-pun for him was over now, though alam naman naming alam nila na nangti-trip lang kami. Haha!
Pagbalik co ng hapon, ang kambal na si Catherine at Carmela e nagso-sorry pa rin sa'kin at sinunsundan co. Hindi co naman sila pinapansin. Waha! XD
I got 21/50 for our quiz on Science last Wednesday. Kasi naman, hanggang 30 items nga lang yung nasagutan co. Kung natapos co lang sana 'yon. But still. mas mataas pa rin aco ng ilang points kesa dun sa ibang nakatapos. Gaah, sayang!
We answered two questionnaire today. Puro problem-solving nga yung pangalawa e. x(
Napansin co din na kada-4:00--yung pagitan ng Science at Filipino namin--e ang lakas ng tama namin. Hindi kasi dumadating agad ang susunod naming teacher kaya nagwawala at naghaharutan kami. Haha!
Dahil medyo maingay (pero hindi naman ganun kalala), tinakot kaming icha-chart. Kasama daw aco, hindi naman aco ganun ka-ingay e. Hayaan na nga! Pati sila Jette daw na naglalaro lang ng cellphone sa likod, icha-chart daw. Basta icha-chart daw kaming mga nasa likod e. XD
Mrs. Bulilan was our teacher in Filipino today. Napansin niya ngang nag-"wawala" kami every 4:00. Sa kabilang room lang kasi ang klase niya kaya rinig kami.
We did a formal theme composition today. Ang topic e yung theme para sa Buwan ng Wika. Wengkz, e ganun din yung ginawa namin sa Essay-writing contest e. Kaya halos kinopya co na lang yung draft co dun na natabi co pa.
Nung pagka-alis nila Miss, nag-"harautan" at nag-"wala" na naman ang mga tao sa room. Nagku-kulitan kami ni Jette nun nang sabihan aco ni Jayson.
""Wag ka nang maingay Ivy! Landian kayo ng landian, tapos 'pag na-chart ka, magrereklamo ka! Para ka talagang indigenous, muka kang Aeta diyang ang ingay-ingay!"
Alam co naman nagjo-jowk lang 'yun dahil nakangiti siya at nakatingin sa taas (his mannerism) at may ino-okray lang at pinapatamaan. Nakiki-ride na lang aco. Sila Fuelas yata yung pinapatamaan niya e. Eto namang si Jette, akala siya kasi parang "nagrereklamo" nga siya kung bakit siya icha-chart, e hindi naman siya maingay. Bigla tuloy pumormal at tumigil makipag-kulitan sa'kin at sabing tatahimik na siya. Tapos yun. Tahimik na at hindi na nagsasalita. I ended up talking with Steni instead dahil nga dine-dedma na ang kakulitan co.
Hindi na siya nagsalita nang buong AP time kahit super kinukulit aco kinikiliti co. Mukantanga e. Sinabi co nga 'yun kay Jayson at sinabi niya ngang sila Fuelas yung pinapatamaan niya at hindi si Jette pero pinanindigan nga ng magaling cong seatmate ang pagiging tahimik. Mukangtanga. Buti na lang nung uwian medyo okay na siya kahit papano.
Hinayaan na lang kami ni Sir Cejero na gawin ang gusto naming gawin nung na-check-an na yung quiz namin yung isang araw. Nagpi-Pinoy Henyo nga sila Jayson e. Pati si Sir nakisali na. Naku! Ang gulo namin! Haha! XD
May anticipated mass nga pala kami bukas. Yay! I'm excited for tomorrow, without an apparent reason.
Ang saya-saya ng week co. Super kulitan kasi kami e. I'm starting to feel comfortable with my section. Natutuwa na aco sa mga kaklase co. Sana tuloy-tuloy na. : )
As usual, most of our teachers didn't attend our classes, so we had a pretty lot of vacant time in the morning. Medyo maingay na naman tuloy kami.
As usual again, Steni was in our side of the room. I mean, dun sa side namin nila Jette.

Dahil nga nagku-kwentuhan kaming tatlo tungkol sa plano sa Saturday, tinanong kami nila Jayson. We told them we're planning about going to EK. Nagyayayaan kaming pumunta ng Enchanted Kingdom dati pa, pero hindi naman ganun ka-serious yung yayaan. Pero kanina, pinanindigan naming nagpa-plano kaming tatlong pumunta sa EK and the rest believed it, though they're still suspicious.
Naputol lang ang kwentuhan ng dumating si Ms. Bautista for our Math. Pero nung umalis na siya, balikan na naman sa usapan dahil hindi naman pumasok si Mrs. Lopena.
Ang lakas ng trip namin. Pinanindigan namin yung trip namin na pupunta kami sa EK sa Thursday, when the truth is we're just going to Jette's house. At naging topic na ng usapan namin ang EK. The three of us were exchanging knowing glances and grins. Sheda! Ang sama namin! XD
Ang lakas talaga ng sayad namin. Muka kaming abnormal kaming tatlo nila Steni at Jette. Muka kaming mga special child! Haha! Yung itsura talaga ni Steni, nakakatawa! Ngumingiti siya kasi na pinapahaba yung baba. Basta, I couldn't explain it. Haha! At dahil mapayat at butu-butp ang babaeng 'yun, kamuka niya si Babalu! Super hagalpakan kami! Grabe, ang lakas ng trip namin! XDDD
Nagkakagatan din kami
Nagyayaan na kaming pumunta sa Extension for our P.E. The third year we're having an assembly at the quadrangle and when Jeje and the others spotted me, they asked me to come down. Bautista told me we're singing for a mass for the dead tomorrow--Mang Jun's father (the school janitor), actually. Sabi ni Bau, mag-practice daw kami. So I went to Extension to tell it to the Basilians. But after thinking of it, I've decided not to practice at all. I mean, hindi naman yata si Sir ang magpa-practice sa'min, so yung mga alam na kanta namin ang mapa-practice lang. E nagmisa naman kami kahapon. Saka isa pa, may klase ang Basil at may Physical Fitness Test kami.
Pabalik-balik aco sa MAin at Extension para hanapin si Bau at sabihing hindi na magpa-practice. Grabe as in! Super pawis na tuloy aco. Buti nakita co siya nung ine-excuse niya yung mga secong year and I told him that we'll not practice anymore at sabihan na lang yung mga members na around 12:00 pumunta sa school.
Pumunta aco sa Basil para sabihin ang tungkol sa misa bukas. Bumalik na rin aco sa mga kaklase co after that.
Hindi pa dumating agad si Mrs. Cacao, kaya super harutan pa rin. Pinagtutulungan namin ni Jette na bunguin si Asis, kahit super tumatalksik kami. Si Steni naman naglulumandi dun kay Sir De Leon na crush niya. Haha!
Dumating na rin si Mrs. Cacao at nag-PFT nang muli. I got 110cm in Standing Long Jump, 77mm?/cm? in Sit and Reach, and 159 in Arms Span. Yung pader nga sa Arms sapan, di co abot yung mismong nakasulat na measurement kaya sabi ni Miss tatantyahin na lang daw sa abot co. Ahahaha!
Maaga kaming natapos sa PFT ngayon. May mga nagpa-practice ng sayaw sa P.E. na mga first year at dahil sa pang-uudyok ni Mrs. Cacao at Sir Lacuesta, napasayaw si Asis! WHOOO! Jollibee! XD
Nang mag-uwian na, sumabay na ulit aco kila Steni. Magkakasabay kaming umuwi for the whole week. Actually sila lang talaga yung magkasabay, nakiki-epal lang aco kasi pareho lang naman kami ng way. Nagbayad muna silang dalawa sa cashier for their tuition--yung pianapkitang two thousand ni Jette kanina na sinasabi niyang pang-EK e tuition naman pala talaga nila nung kapatid niya.
"Sabi na nga ba tuition yan e!" Jayson said so the EK-pun for him was over now, though alam naman naming alam nila na nangti-trip lang kami. Haha!
Pagbalik co ng hapon, ang kambal na si Catherine at Carmela e nagso-sorry pa rin sa'kin at sinunsundan co. Hindi co naman sila pinapansin. Waha! XD
I got 21/50 for our quiz on Science last Wednesday. Kasi naman, hanggang 30 items nga lang yung nasagutan co. Kung natapos co lang sana 'yon. But still. mas mataas pa rin aco ng ilang points kesa dun sa ibang nakatapos. Gaah, sayang!
We answered two questionnaire today. Puro problem-solving nga yung pangalawa e. x(
Napansin co din na kada-4:00--yung pagitan ng Science at Filipino namin--e ang lakas ng tama namin. Hindi kasi dumadating agad ang susunod naming teacher kaya nagwawala at naghaharutan kami. Haha!
Dahil medyo maingay (pero hindi naman ganun kalala), tinakot kaming icha-chart. Kasama daw aco, hindi naman aco ganun ka-ingay e. Hayaan na nga! Pati sila Jette daw na naglalaro lang ng cellphone sa likod, icha-chart daw. Basta icha-chart daw kaming mga nasa likod e. XD
Mrs. Bulilan was our teacher in Filipino today. Napansin niya ngang nag-"wawala" kami every 4:00. Sa kabilang room lang kasi ang klase niya kaya rinig kami.
We did a formal theme composition today. Ang topic e yung theme para sa Buwan ng Wika. Wengkz, e ganun din yung ginawa namin sa Essay-writing contest e. Kaya halos kinopya co na lang yung draft co dun na natabi co pa.
Nung pagka-alis nila Miss, nag-"harautan" at nag-"wala" na naman ang mga tao sa room. Nagku-kulitan kami ni Jette nun nang sabihan aco ni Jayson.
""Wag ka nang maingay Ivy! Landian kayo ng landian, tapos 'pag na-chart ka, magrereklamo ka! Para ka talagang indigenous, muka kang Aeta diyang ang ingay-ingay!"
Alam co naman nagjo-jowk lang 'yun dahil nakangiti siya at nakatingin sa taas (his mannerism) at may ino-okray lang at pinapatamaan. Nakiki-ride na lang aco. Sila Fuelas yata yung pinapatamaan niya e. Eto namang si Jette, akala siya kasi parang "nagrereklamo" nga siya kung bakit siya icha-chart, e hindi naman siya maingay. Bigla tuloy pumormal at tumigil makipag-kulitan sa'kin at sabing tatahimik na siya. Tapos yun. Tahimik na at hindi na nagsasalita. I ended up talking with Steni instead dahil nga dine-dedma na ang kakulitan co.
Hindi na siya nagsalita nang buong AP time kahit super kinukulit aco kinikiliti co. Mukantanga e. Sinabi co nga 'yun kay Jayson at sinabi niya ngang sila Fuelas yung pinapatamaan niya at hindi si Jette pero pinanindigan nga ng magaling cong seatmate ang pagiging tahimik. Mukangtanga. Buti na lang nung uwian medyo okay na siya kahit papano.
Hinayaan na lang kami ni Sir Cejero na gawin ang gusto naming gawin nung na-check-an na yung quiz namin yung isang araw. Nagpi-Pinoy Henyo nga sila Jayson e. Pati si Sir nakisali na. Naku! Ang gulo namin! Haha! XD
May anticipated mass nga pala kami bukas. Yay! I'm excited for tomorrow, without an apparent reason.
Ang saya-saya ng week co. Super kulitan kasi kami e. I'm starting to feel comfortable with my section. Natutuwa na aco sa mga kaklase co. Sana tuloy-tuloy na. : )

Most Hyper APTA Induction
Upon reaching the school, I requested Quintero to curl my hair. Nung third year pa lang kasi, uso na yung ganun at marunong siya. May usapan kasi kami nila Ayyah at Lea na ico-cosplay (mini cosplay lang, actually, dahil kahit yung konting look lang o ugali ang gayahin) ang isang character sa ToraDora! sa Monday, at sabi nila si Taiga daw ang i-"cosplay" co. Taiga's hair was a bit wavy, so I'm going to try to make my messy hair look like that of Taiga's.
Wala naman kaming masyadong ginawa, kaya pinagtulong-tulungan acong kulutan nila Quintero, Ruiz, at Quial. I looked like Valentina from Darna kasi ang pagkulot na uso sa'min, yung parang binubuhol. My hair looked short, and they told me it would be better if I cut my hair. They're presuading me to cut my hair. As if they could convince me.
Sabi co, magpapagupit din aco kapag: [1] may matindi acong dahilan; at [2] may taong super nangumbinsi sa'kin at na-moved talaga aco sa dahilan niya.
Sabi nga ni Jette, pipilitan niya daw aco. Tapos sasabihin niya kila Ayyah, Lea, Adrian, Remo, Alexa and my other close friends to persuade me, too. Haha!
At 8am, Veloso excused me from our class para ayusin nga yung bulletin board. Tinali co yung buhok co kasi muka pa nga acong si Valentina kasi naka-"buhol" pa rin. Remo ang Alde saw me, and they thought I had a haircut dahil muka ngang maikli yung buhok co na parang shoulder-length lang. As if..
Inabot kami ng past 9am dun sa bulletin board na 'yon pero halos wala rin namang nagyari at di rin namin natapos. Kase e..
English time na pagbalik co. Nagqu-quiz sila at nasa question #12 na, humabol na lang aco. Nag-aaalala aco dun sa 1-11 co, buti na lang inulit din ni Mrs. Lopena yung questions nung nag-request acong ulitin. I got 21. Actually, dapat talaga 23 yun e. Ang gulo kasi ni Miss e. Parang feeling co talaga, may mali siyang nasabi.
Tinggal co na rin yung pagkaka-"buhol" ng buhok co nung paakyat na kami sa rooftop ang everyone was "wow-ing" on me. Ang ganda kasi ng pagkakulot e, para daw acong magj-JS! Akalain mo 'yun, gumaganda ang buhok co kapag kinukulot. Muka daw acong tao! HAHA! (But still, I wasn't able to achieve the Taiga look. Tsk.)
Half day lang kami ngayon dahil APTA Induction of officers. Pero babalik din aco sa school ng 2:30 dahil choir aco at may mass para sa Induction. Dapat nga, pupunta kami ni Jayson kila Jorvina (dapat talaga, si Jayson lang. E sabi niya, baka daw "molestyahin" siya ni Jorvs kaya pinasama niya aco. XD) para makita ni Jayson kung pan'o i-reformat yung PC nila Jorvs, na si Jorvs lang ang gagawa, kaso di din natuloy kasi nandun yung tatay niya nandun e ayaw niyang nandun yung papa niya kapag nagdala siya ng kaklase.
Umuwi na lang aco at umidlip. At past 2pm, nasa school na aco. Naka-civilian nga aco e.
Ang awesome ng pagkakakanta namin. Waw. Yung bagong member na 1st year, si Gerald Dulay, ang galing mag-voicing. Palibhasa choir na yun sa kanila e. Pati tuloy yung Ama Namin me voicing kahit dati e wala naman yun.
Hindi pa kami umuwi pagkatapos ng mass. Nanuod muna kami sa program. Nang natapos na ang program, binigyan kami ng merienda. Grabe, ang hyper namin!
Warning: "Green" language ahead. Not suitable for "innocent" and conservative people. XD
Nagkulang yata sa tinidor nun, kaya nanghiram si Siacey ng tinidor sa tapos nang kumain. Nung nanghiram siya kay Dulat, sagot ba naman e, "'Wag na. Lalaki aco, baka mabuntis ka!"
WAW. Grabe. Nagtawanan kami. Pero na-realize co, grabe talaga ang mga kabataan ngayon. I mean, green din naman talaga kami so parang wala lang yun. Kaso first year pa lang yun ah, at bagong member pa. Hindi pa lalagpas sa limang beses na nakasama namin siya sa choir. At si Siacey e third year na. Samantalagang nung panahong first year kami at bago sa High School Glee Club, hindi kami makapalag ng ganyan sa mga "senpai" namin. Oo, may biruan, pero super kuya at ate at "po" kami nun. Hindi kami ganun magsalita sa senpais namin.
Iba na talaga panahon ngayon o. XD
Kumuha pa kami ng pansit, at ng juice. Ang adik e! Kumuha din kami ng lobo! HAHA!
Grabe! Ang hyper namin. Di co lang ma-explain. pero ang kulit namin! XD
We saw Adrian, na galing Los Baños dahil may kinuhang documents daw kaya di nakapag-choir. Ang gala talaga, mag-isa lang siya nun ah. Kinuwento co nga sa kanya yung tungkol kay Dulay at sabi niya, in a playful but somewhat serious way, na lagot daw yun sa kanya sa Sabado. Si Eday pa naman, pinapakitaan talaga ng "attitude" at "authority" ang mga taong dapat pakitaan ng "attitude" at "authority". Ganun siya. Kapag sa lokohan, mangunguna 'yon, pero kapag serious, serious.
Hindi naman sa naiinis kami. Para sa'kin, okay lang naman si Dulay. Magaling siya, and he's an asset to the choir. Pero syempre, dapat maaga pa lang e matuto na siyang "rumespeto". Hindi naman sa naiis talaga kami, super natawa pa nga kami sa kanya. Pero syempre, dapat malaman niya kung pa'no pakitunguhan ang mga senpai niya. Aba, kahit pamilya at super close co na talaga ang choir to the point na super harutan kami, dapat malaman ng new members kung saan "lulugar".
And I'll leave that to Eday. Mas kaya niya na 'yon kaysa sa'kin. I'm not good on laying "authority", kaya siya na bahala dun. Magkakasundo rin naman yung dalawang 'yun e, for sure. Good luck na lang sa Sabado. XD
(This post is supposedly centered on how hyper we are today, pero mas parang tungkol sa ito sa mga bagong members. Haha!)

Ow. English Week : (
We had our meeting on English Club this afternoon at 1 o'clock. I am an officer, a Fourth Year Representative actually, so I was included in the meeting.
English week is on the third week of September, but we started planning for it this early. We talked about our club's shirt, which has a conflict because the "assigned" color to English club is orange (presidents of all club had discussed about that. See this blog post.) The English teacher--which are the advisers in the club--don't like the color so they chose pink instead. Pero alam co, may naka-assign na sa pink e. But we will be using pink, nevertheless.
We also discussed about the bulletin board. Naku! Yung President naman kasi namen, actually, hindi... ganun ka-competent. Napagkatuwaan lang kasi siyang iboto e. He's actually a... uhm, mentally-challenged person. Not that I discriminate him, but Ginnique should have been the Lingua Franca President.
Lastly, we talked about the activities for the English week. and to my ultimate, utter disappontment, officers can't join in any contest! Dammit!
Kung alam co lang talaga, sa totoo lang, tinanggihan co na lang sana ang pagiging officer. Di bale sana kung ganun kataas yung poistion co, e hindi naman. One of my plans last vacation is that I will join in every contest, especially in English week, that I can join. I was planning to join Quiz Bee, Declamation, Spelling Bee, Extempo, Debate, o kahit hindi na lang lahat 'yun, basta yung mga pwede cong salihan.
But my hopes vanished today. Gaah. Wala acong pwedeng salihan. Pan'o yung section namin? E nung Linggo ng Wika nga, halos aco lang rin ang sumali sa'min e. Yung mga kaklase co kasi, ayaw. E pa'no sa English Week? Ano pang mangyayari sa'min? Gusto co pa namang ipakita kay Sir na mali yung sinabi niyang wala kaming mapapalanunang kahit anong contest. Na kaya namin. Na makaka-kuha din kami ng medal. E pa'no ngayon 'yan?
Shit. Nanghihinayang talaga aco kapag naaalala co. :(
The meeting ended at nearly 3:30. I was already late for Science. Gusto co pa namang pumasok kasi maganda ang topic namin, tungkol sa mga sagot dun sa NCAE reviewer. E kapag ganun ang dami cong natututunan.
Nang dumating aco sa room, nagpaliwanag aco kay Mrs. Suinan kung saan aco galing. Hindi naman siya galit, playful yung mood niya kaya matagal pa bago aco pinapasok. Yung mga traydor cong kaklase, lalo na yung mga lalaki, ginagatungan para hindi aco papasukin!
Pero pinapasok na rin aco. They're answering a quiz from a test questionnaire. It was a 50-item quiz, and for Pete's sake, it is recorded!
Hala! E hindi binigay sa'kin ni Miss yung quiz notebook co e! PA'NO YAN! 50 items yun!! Edi bokya na co!
Sila Dizon inaasar aco. Iiyak na daw aco. At dahil mababaw talaga acong tao, naiyak aco dun sa sinabi nilang iiyak na aco, pero tawa pa rin aco ng tawa dahil muka acong tanga. Siguro naawa sa'kin si Miss, binigay sa'kin yung quiz notebook co at questionnaire. Pero hanggang 30 items lang ang nasagutan co. Hay,
At least, di zero. Pero sayang yung 20 items! Sheeeet!

Birthday ng Adviser
It was our adviser's birthday. Nung pagdating co sa room, inaayos na ni Jayson yung mga upuan pa-ikot sa room. They didn't attend the flag ceremony para maghanda sa taas.
Pero wala pa yung pagkain at nandun na sa baba si Sir. Kung makikita ni Sir na paikot ang upuan pero wala naman yung handa, edi ang corny nun. Kaya pagkatapos ng flag ceremony, dali-dali na acong umakyat sa taas para sabihin ayusin muna ang mga upuan. Madali-madali kami sa pag-ayos e. Bumaba naman kaming mga officers para sa pagkain at sinabi namin sa mga classmates namin na parang ordinaryong araw lang pagpasok ni Sir.
Mga 20 minutes din kaming naghintay sa may gate. Nang dumating na ang pagkain, tumulong aco sa pagbubuhat ng pasta. Meron din kaming balloon at saka tarpaulin
While walking toward our room, we sang "Happy Birthday".
Honestly, the birthday itself wasn't that... lively. I mean, hindi ganun kasaya. But for me, the day was somewhat awesome dahil super kulitan kami.
Nandun lang aco sa likod, kasama sila Jette, Steni, and the others. Si Jette, tinotopak at ayaw magpa-picture kahit anung gawin namin. Naka-gala uniform kasi siya e, baka daw sabihin na may guard sa picture. Sus! Echos niya lang yun e! x)
Mr. Dela Torre, our adviser.
Muka kasing angek si Jayson e, umalis pa. Blurred tuloy.
Spaghetti at lumpia ang handa. Pero dahil ayaw co ng lumpia, yung maja yung ni-request cong kainin. Naghati kami ni Jette dun sa maja. Masarap naman kasi siya... basta 'wag mo lang titingnan. Pa'no kasi, mukang lugaw yung itsura ng maja. Haha.
Pero masarap talaga siya, pramis. Nagku-kwentuhan pa kami ng mga nakakadiring bagay habang kumakain, akala naman nila mahina sikmura co. Haha! Nakaubos pa aco ng dalawang servings ng maja. Yung spaghetti lang talaga ang halos di co nagalaw.
Aco lang ang nakatingin at nakangiti dito ah. Haha!
Kulitan na kami pagkatapos ng kainan. Picture-picture. Di naman na rin kasi pumasok yung ibang teachers namin e.
Jorvina looking like Haruhi Suzumiya. Hoho. Ankyut!~ Wengkz.
Nako. Si Jette ayaw tumingin! Alisin mo nga yung lobo!
Si Steni ang laki ng bunganga e! XD
Muka kang nangangarap ng gising! Sinong iniisip mo ha? ALAM NA! XD
Super effort aco para makasama sa picture o!
Yatta! Napicturan din si Jette (nasa likod co)! Itchura co naman dito, ang haggard! x]
Woot! Ang seductive ni Luis ah!
Eto pa isa!
Nagkakantahan kami sa may side namin ng kung anu-anop. Super birit aco e. Biglang may nagpatugtog ng "Careless Whisper" sa phone. Sayaw naman kami ni Luis! Haha, super giling e!
Muka kaming abnormal ni Luis dito! Careless Whisper!
Ni-video pa kami ni Koleen. Sayang, di pa naa-upload. Kapag na-ulpload na, ilalagay co yung link dito. XD
**
Nagkuha ng participants ng Word Game para sa Buwan ng Wika ngayon. Sumali aco, at dahil kailangan e tatlo ang kasali, hinikayat co si Steni at Jette. Napasali co din naman sila.
Ang oras ng Word Game e 1:00-3:00. Ibig sabihin babalik pa kami ng 1pm kahit 3pm pa ang balik namin, Biniro aco nila Jette na sa bahay co sila uuwi para malapit lang kami. E ang kalat kasi sa bahay e! Okay lang sana kung di makalat, e siguradong parang dinaanan ng bagyo yung bahay!
Nung una, nagjo-joke lang daw sila. Pero nung nandun na kami sa may eskinita papuntang bahay namin, nauna pa sila sa'kin! E hinihintay lang daw ni Jette si Steni na magyaya na pauwi e, e game naman si Steni.. kaya yun, dun na nga sila sa bahay namin umuwi.
Wala si Mama. Sarado ang bahay. Yung susi ng pinto, nasa may bintana. E nakasarado yung bintana. Super effort acong sungitin 'yon para mabuksan yun. Pati sila Jette nakitulong na rin. Siguro may 10 minutes din kaming nagta-try buksan yung bintana, nang wala sa loob cong hinila yung isa pang bintana. Sheda, bukas pala! Nagpakahirap pa kami!
Sa wakas, nakapasok na rin kami sa bahay. Buti hindi ganun kakalat. Bumili na lang sila ng pagkain sa Jollibee kasi kulang yung ulam na nakahanda para sa'min.
Nang mag-1pm na, bumalik na kami sa school. Susme, ang aga pa nga namin e! Kaya nag-ikot-ikot na lang muna kami.
Maya-maya, nagsimula na rin yung Word Game. Muka lang kaming mga tanga dun. Haha. Pa'no kasi, ang bilis ng oras. Nakaka-shock. Parang mga na-"trauma" ang itsura namin pagkatapos ng isang word.
Sa huli, we ranked 3rd. As expected, 1st ang Basil. Naka-2nd naman ang Gregri. Ang mamaw e, ang daming nasusulat na word! Sayang nga kasi yung dalawa lang na iyon ang kuha para sa Final Round na inter-level na.
Nagpa-ikot-ikot na lang kaming muli sa school. Pwede namang tumambay yung dalwa sa HQ dahil CAT officers naman sila, e kaso kasama nila aco. edi kung sa HQ sila, wala acong makakasama. Weet! Haha! Kaya super tambay na lang kami sa may tapat ng internet room at sinamahang sumimoy si Steni sa kanyang irog. Haha!
Sumali din aco ng Pagsulat ng Tula nung hapon. : )
Nakakatuwa ang araw co. It was awesome. I'm beginning to find new friends. : )
Pero wala pa yung pagkain at nandun na sa baba si Sir. Kung makikita ni Sir na paikot ang upuan pero wala naman yung handa, edi ang corny nun. Kaya pagkatapos ng flag ceremony, dali-dali na acong umakyat sa taas para sabihin ayusin muna ang mga upuan. Madali-madali kami sa pag-ayos e. Bumaba naman kaming mga officers para sa pagkain at sinabi namin sa mga classmates namin na parang ordinaryong araw lang pagpasok ni Sir.
Mga 20 minutes din kaming naghintay sa may gate. Nang dumating na ang pagkain, tumulong aco sa pagbubuhat ng pasta. Meron din kaming balloon at saka tarpaulin
While walking toward our room, we sang "Happy Birthday".
Honestly, the birthday itself wasn't that... lively. I mean, hindi ganun kasaya. But for me, the day was somewhat awesome dahil super kulitan kami.
Nandun lang aco sa likod, kasama sila Jette, Steni, and the others. Si Jette, tinotopak at ayaw magpa-picture kahit anung gawin namin. Naka-gala uniform kasi siya e, baka daw sabihin na may guard sa picture. Sus! Echos niya lang yun e! x)
Mr. Dela Torre, our adviser.
Muka kasing angek si Jayson e, umalis pa. Blurred tuloy.
Spaghetti at lumpia ang handa. Pero dahil ayaw co ng lumpia, yung maja yung ni-request cong kainin. Naghati kami ni Jette dun sa maja. Masarap naman kasi siya... basta 'wag mo lang titingnan. Pa'no kasi, mukang lugaw yung itsura ng maja. Haha.
Pero masarap talaga siya, pramis. Nagku-kwentuhan pa kami ng mga nakakadiring bagay habang kumakain, akala naman nila mahina sikmura co. Haha! Nakaubos pa aco ng dalawang servings ng maja. Yung spaghetti lang talaga ang halos di co nagalaw.
Aco lang ang nakatingin at nakangiti dito ah. Haha!
Kulitan na kami pagkatapos ng kainan. Picture-picture. Di naman na rin kasi pumasok yung ibang teachers namin e.
Jorvina looking like Haruhi Suzumiya. Hoho. Ankyut!~ Wengkz.
Nako. Si Jette ayaw tumingin! Alisin mo nga yung lobo!
Si Steni ang laki ng bunganga e! XD
Muka kang nangangarap ng gising! Sinong iniisip mo ha? ALAM NA! XD
Super effort aco para makasama sa picture o!
Yatta! Napicturan din si Jette (nasa likod co)! Itchura co naman dito, ang haggard! x]
Woot! Ang seductive ni Luis ah!
Eto pa isa!Nagkakantahan kami sa may side namin ng kung anu-anop. Super birit aco e. Biglang may nagpatugtog ng "Careless Whisper" sa phone. Sayaw naman kami ni Luis! Haha, super giling e!
Muka kaming abnormal ni Luis dito! Careless Whisper!Ni-video pa kami ni Koleen. Sayang, di pa naa-upload. Kapag na-ulpload na, ilalagay co yung link dito. XD
**
Nagkuha ng participants ng Word Game para sa Buwan ng Wika ngayon. Sumali aco, at dahil kailangan e tatlo ang kasali, hinikayat co si Steni at Jette. Napasali co din naman sila.
Ang oras ng Word Game e 1:00-3:00. Ibig sabihin babalik pa kami ng 1pm kahit 3pm pa ang balik namin, Biniro aco nila Jette na sa bahay co sila uuwi para malapit lang kami. E ang kalat kasi sa bahay e! Okay lang sana kung di makalat, e siguradong parang dinaanan ng bagyo yung bahay!
Nung una, nagjo-joke lang daw sila. Pero nung nandun na kami sa may eskinita papuntang bahay namin, nauna pa sila sa'kin! E hinihintay lang daw ni Jette si Steni na magyaya na pauwi e, e game naman si Steni.. kaya yun, dun na nga sila sa bahay namin umuwi.

NCAE Dry-Run
Today was the dry run for the NCAE of Fourth Year. I honestly didn't review last night. I stayed until 1am in front of my computer. Wala. Parang wala lang.
It was already 6:10am in our clock when I woke up. E sabi dapat 6:05 e nasa school na e! Grabe, super madali aco papuntang school. Akala co nga nagsisimula na. Buti na lang nagrosary pa at nakapila ang mga fourth year sa may quadrangle.
We went to our designated rooms after the rosary and some reminders. We answered our Presonal Data Sheet, then, finally, we answered the NCAE reviewer-questionnaire.
Madali-dali lang naman yung NCAE reviewer-questionnaire, well, compared to UPCAT (syempre!). Well, of course, beside Math. Actually, yung mga unang items e madadali lang sagutan. Okay na sana e, panira lang yung sa dulo. I've already forgotten the formula of the areas, and other various stuff that I cannot solve. Potek. Kahit kelan talaga, panira ang Math sa buhay co!
After Math, we had our recess. Tapos maya-mya, sabi mag-lunch na kami kasi isa na lang yung break. Sheda, sinabi dati dalawa daw yung break kaya mamaya pa dadalhin ni mama yung lunch co.
Bawal pumunta sa canteen kasi dapat talaga may baong pack lunch. E yung lunch co nga mamaya pa dadalhin e. Kaya kasama si Nanon, tumakas kami papuntang canteen. Luka-luka talaga aco. E kaysa naman magutom. Haha!
Hindi rin aco nakakain ng maayos yung binili co kasi nag-time na. And we continued answering the reviewer-questionare.
Siguro mga past 1pm na kami natapos. After that, we exchanged our answer sheet to the other room so we can check it.
After the checking, the ten students who got the highest scores were announced.
At the eight position, our section's name was said. I was honestly assuming that it was Jayson dahil may mga items na parehong-pareho dun sa NCAE reviewer ng ate niya. So I was really surprised when Mrs. Suinan called my name.
Wow! Akalain mo yun! Naka-eight pa aco. Sa buong fourth year 'yon ah. To think na hindi co naman pinaghandaan 'yon (Geez, I sound conceited! Haha!). Ka-tie co pa nga si Ablay e.
And as expected, Adrian got the highest score. : )
I was "congratulated" and teased by my acquaintances, classmates, and friends when we got back to our room. Si Jette todo asar sa'kin e. Actually, dalawa kami ni Idul ang galing sa Alphonsus, 5th pa nga siya e. Pero nakakatuwa kasi super bati sila sa'kin. Wala lang. Haha! Thank you, stock knowledge!

UPCAT
This is one step toward a new beginning in my life. The life I would enter in a few month's time. The thing I both dread and excite about. College.
I know it's unlikely for me to pass in the most prestigious university in the country. Having not reviewed seriously and all. I know for a fact that I shouldn't keep my hopes high, yet inside me, I wish that I will pass. I think that I can pass.
Armed with my faith in God and faith in my luck I journeyed to Diliman, Quezon City for the University of the Philippines College Admission Test. I'm counting on my stock knowledge, pure luck, and on the Good Heavens to be on my side today.
Mama and Iverie accompanied me. On our way to UPD, Mama and I talked about college. And she said I could go to Pamantasan ng Maynila, or Philippine Normal University. Yay! College in Manila is possible now!
I was actually thinking about PNUsince Mr. Luna's taking his masterals in there. But the university I really target is PUP Sta. Mesa. I told that to Mama today, but she doesn't agree because that's too far and all. I suggested PUP Taguig, and she half-agreed.
Pero PUP Sta. Mesa pa rin talaga ang gusto co. Siguro mapapapayag co rin si Mama, ngayong nakumbinsi na siyang sa Manila aco mag-aaral.
It was drizzling. We're already in PHILCOA and just a ride away from UP and several teenagers were in the same jeep we're rode. I'm sure those are UPCAT takers too.
I was awed and dazzled when we reach the UP campus. It is so... big. I mean, hanwalak niya! Wow. I really dreaded college because I'm not yet ready to leave high school and all the things I love about it, but seeing UP, I was like... "Wow!". I suddenly became excited about college, being into a big community, meeting new people...
But as I saw other UPCAT-takers--intelligent-looking teens, sophisticated girls who wore dresses and miniskirts--I suddenly felt fear. I could see girls that looked like they'll be attending a party, mature-looking fourth year high schools who talked with each other in English in a well-articulated tongue. There are no gangly high schools boys like those in my class, but instead, males who wear eyeglasses that made them look genius and ready to be a college.
For an awkward moment, I feel so simple and gauche. Wearing pants and simple shirt and plain single braid, I feel ordinary. I sure look pale beside those girls. Kung bakit kasi hindi co naisipang magbihis ng bonggang-bongga ngayon e!
I feel so "little". I feel that I look like a "probinsyana" that stepped in Manila for the first time. I don't feel smart at all. I could almost see what I look like and what I could be like in college: a loner girl in a corner, so plain and simple that one wouldn't mind to take a second look. On that awkward moment, I felt insecurity. Fear in college--not the fear I felt before, but a new, uncomfortable fear.
For a moment, I remembered Jette and Steni, who would be taking UPCAT is UPLB. Would it be different if I'm decided to take UPCAT in Los Baños? Would I feel this kind of insecurity and fear? Perhaps not, because I'm not surrounded by city-bred teenagers. For a swift moment, I wished I decided to take UPCAT in Los Baños, so my self-esteem won't be a liitle shattered like this.
But the thought quickly went away. I want and I would be taking my college in Manila, in the city of Manila. This is just a foretaste, I told myself, and there is yet more to come. It's better this way so I know what I will expect on college.
We still waited for a couple of minutes. At 12:30, the guard asked us to line up, and we went up to our designated room.
I was expecting a normal room--just like what high school does--because that's what I saw in the second floor window. But we entered an air-conditioned room, the floor was stair-like like the one in American colleges. Yay! Ang cute, pang-college na pang-college talaga! (Yeah, I know I sound so childish).
So this is it. The UPCAT.
I was the first in line so I was seated on the corner at the back, the highest step in the stair-like floor. The proctor talked kinda fast while giving us insturction especially on the Personal Data Sheet so I end up shaking the wrong circles for my middle name. Inulit co pa tuloy.
Language Proficiency was the first subtest. It was actually okay, though I didn't answered about three questions. I concentrated on the "sentence arrangement", almost trying out every choices. Tapos biglang 20 minutes na lang ang natitirang oras and there were still about 40 questions left. I was panicking a bit, but I told myself to calm down. I rushed in answering the questions, but it seemed that I wouldn't make it on time.
When the proctor finally told us to stop answering, there are still 10 questions left. Shit! Hindi co nasagutan 'yon!!
Next was Science. Di co lang talaga alam yung mga tungkol sa Chemistry dun. Salamat sa naging teacher co sa Chem nung Third Year, wala talaga acong alam. Stock knowledge na lang rin yung iba.
Then thebloody Math. Gawsh, grabe! Puro radicals! E hindi co nga alam yun e! Tapos puro find the value of the variable chuva. May iba pang mga symbols na hindi co maintindihan. Naghihintay aco ng mga isi-simplify na algebraic expression (dahil iyon lang ang alam co XD), but to my dismay, wala. In short, I guessed most of my answers.
After thebloody Math, Reading Comprehension naman. It was quite okay, medyo nakakalito lang kasi halos lahat e possible answer.
Ranking of the subtests for me ("easiest" to the most diffucult):
1. Reading Comprehension
2. Language Proficiency
3. Science
4. Mathematics
Actually, hindi siya naman talaga ganun kahirap. I mean, marami kasing nag-iisip na super hirap ng UPCAT at mga brainiacs lang talaga ang makakapasa. But it was actually the kind of exam you would expect in a university like UP. It's difficult, but not impossible to pass. Actually, kung nag-review ka talaga, hindi magiging masyadong mahirap 'yon para sa'yo.
E kaso ang problema, di naman aco nag-review. x[
Hindi na rin kami nag-ikot sa UP kasi gumagabi na at umuulan pa. Sabi co, hindi kumpleto ang UP experience co kung hindi co makikita ang Oblation. Wah, di co na ba talaga siya makikita?
Pero nung palabas na kami sa UP campus, habang nasa jeep, I saw the famous Mr. Oblation. Yay! My UP experience is complete!
Super traffic sa may Bicutan, kaya nagtagal pa kami sa byahe. It was already 9:30 when we reached Festival to eat our dinner in KFC. At habang kumakain, sabi ba naman ni Mama na baka daw mag-board aco kung makakapasa aco sa UP.
Ack! Bakit ngayon niya sinabi, kung kelan tapos na? Sana pala nag-aral aco! Sheda!
Maybe the only thing I feel sorry about is that almost 10 items in Language Proficiency that I was unable to answer. Madali na kasi yung dulo kasi Filipino na lang, di co pa nasagutan! Sayang yung points! Maybe, just maybe, if I were able to answer that, may kahit maliit at katiting na chance acong makapasa kahit LB lang. Tutal, English-related ang course co. Malay mo, pumasok sa quota.
Pero hindi co nasagutan. : (
College. College. I dreaded you but you excite me too. What kind of surprises and experience will you give me? Ah, I somewhat fear you. I guess I'll just savor my high school life 'til it lasts.
